Just give her time. Maybe she knows she is so much bigger than he is, and not sure how to play yet- but she will figure it out. He will be mostly full grown by 6 and half months- and being a male she will see him more of a playmate. Just honor her position as the boss and there first, and remember- the puppy doesnt know she wont play with him yet- he is just a baby and learning allllll the ropes and rules of the house still.. You can give him a little one on one time as I am sure he has to go outside more than she does. Get out of sight like the side of the house and play with him a little more .. Its best if she goes out with you guys- sometimes a indoor dog might know not to play that much in the house- and taking them out together might help.
Just remember its cold here- ( not sure about your area) and they cant stay out too long..
Sounds like fun- and I cant wait to see pictures. My step son and soon to be wife, just got one. Theirs is black and tan and a total riot!! Soooooooo cute!!!
Actually I think you should show her that YOU are the boss not one of the dogs, I think letting one of the dogs think they are boss is a big mistake.
